[QUOTE="HamBees, post: 2599, member: 49"] Waipa District Council this morning agreed to delete their beekeeping rules out of the District Plan, and will create a bylaw dealing with nuisance issues. This effectively makes all current and future beehives IN Te Awamutu and Cambridge fully legal, and there will be minimal interference from Council. Their next step is to create a new bylaw during the next few weeks, with consultation with the submitters who spoke to their submissions this morning. We are hoping they will not try and include any unnecessary restrictions, but realise that in some cases, mitigating requirements may be necessary is some situations. This is a major success in getting a Council to firstly admit their current rules were not fit for purpose, then to start the review process, take it to public consultation, and LISTEN to what they were being told. They have listened, and this brings this whole 18 month sage ALMOST to a successful close. But please note - All beehives in Cambridge and Te Awamutu are now fully legal. There is no longer any threat of Council requiring any consent process now or in the future... Enjoy your bees.... [/QUOTE]
